V70-V79: Bus occupant injured in transport accident
V77: Bus occupant injured in collision with fixed or stationary object
This group of conditions primarily deals with injuries sustained by a bus occupant due to a collision with a fixed or stationary object. In these situations, the sudden force exerted on the passengers can lead to a variety of injuries, the specific nature and severity of which will generally depend on the intensity of the collision, the occupant's position on the bus, and whether or not they were using safety precautions such as seatbelts. Common types of injuries include sprains and fractures, head or brain injuries, cut and bruises, and occasionally, internal injuries. These conditions present through immediate symptoms like pain, swelling, and visible trauma, and in some cases, symptoms like confusion or unconsciousness may signal more severe injuries. Progression can vary from uneventful recoveries to escalating complications, particularly when internal injuries go undetected or untreated.
